INSIDE THE LINES--from Berlin to London to Paris to Alexandria to Gibralter--in a net work of lines criss-crossing through Europe--the fascinating game of the secret service is played. It is a game in which death lurks in every move, over a game of cards, in the flick of an eyelid.
In the electric days at the outbreak of the war Captain Woodhouse of the British Signal Service was playing a dangerous battle of wits against the Wilhelmstrasse, the headquarters of that octopus stretching its tentacles over the world--the German spy system. This is the story of how the captain brilliantly and dramatically outwitted a plan to put Gibralter into the hands of German spies.
It is also the story of Louisa--a spy with the face of a fine animal and a heart of cole amethyst; and of Jane Gerson, pretty buyer of dresses from Hildebrand's, New York, who found herself alone in the face of Europe's buring, and also of Billy Cappter, a catspaw and a target.
